The pupa is mottled brown with a dark line along the back.
Its length is about 1.5 cms.
It is formed in a crevice often some distance from the foodplant.
It is unusual in that it can make clicking noises.

Underneath, the fore wings are dark brown,
with white lines emanating from the
costa.
The hind wings have a complex brown pattern.
The butterflies have a wing span of about 4 cms.

Widespread but very local, adults are sighted flying around
the tops of eucalypts which support their host.
As with all Ogyris, the usual way to obtain adults
is to collect larvae and pupae,
as the adult butterflies do not feed from flowers, or descend to ground level.

The species occurs
over most of the eastern half of Australia,
including
